This page is dedicated to all of the fine men and
women who worked for or helped The H. N. White Company grow into the
success that it was. Everyone at the company was accountable for the
extremely high quality that was built into every H. N. White instrument
and deserves credit for their efforts. Even today, H. N. White instruments
are in demand by those who recognize quality. In the following biographies
I have attempted to provide the individual's years of employment,
in addition to any known catalog pictures in which he or she appeared.
Unfortunately, The Seeburg Company destroyed all of the H. N. White
employee records. As such, this page is incomplete but with the help
of others this page will continue to grow. Please contact me if you
can help.

Another www.hnwhite.com Exclusive! When ever possible
the actual signature of the craftsmen has been added to the biography
sheet!
